Trends & Indicators
📈📉🧐
We used long-term monitoring data and/or citizen science data to determine population trajectories of concerning species and to build topic indicators. Those trends and indicators indicate health of a given ecosystem at local or regional scale.

Wildlife-Habitat Relationships
🌳🐦⬛🪺
We are trying to identify survival and breeding resources of a species in a heterogeneous landscape, and determine the associations of wildlife diversity and landscape (composition, configuration & habitat amount). The issues include fragmentation, mosaic farmlands and forests, and landscape planning.

Citizen science & Open data 🙌
Citizen science is the essential tool for current biodiversity conservation. We launch several citizen science project for Taiwan's biodiversity and share all data with the world on the GBIF.
-

Conservation with international cooperation 🌏
We cooperate with people from different parts of the world for biodiversity conservation, especially for migratory species along the East Asian - Australasian Flyway. We are the coordinator of Asian Waterbird Census of the Wetland International, and the East Asia Wildlife Health Network. We also provide scientific-based evidences and suggestions to policy makers for designs strategies and actions.

Case studies for individual bird species & others 🦉
Sometimes, sudden events urge us to search and collect evidences from various source types and multilingual materials (usually Chinese, English & Japanese), especially tracking to the documents in 19th century. Further, I conducted studies concerning biogeographical issues & cooperative breeding behaviorur many years ago.
